Clear water in the glass, but from where? (Nagykanizsa)
Where does our clean water come from? What does clean water even mean? How can we produce it? We can get answers to these questions during the presentation. We recommend the presentation to both primary and secondary school students.
How much plastic do we consume? - or the presence of microplastics (Nagykanizsa)
These days, we hear more and more about plastics that pose a threat to our environment. Nature is under immense strain due to the fragmentation of plastics produced in ever-increasing quantities, as well as particles released from our clothing and cosmetics. Components invisible to the naked eye pose extraordinary health risks and have a significant impact on the ecosystem. Are these microplastic components really found in our drinking water? Do they pose a real danger to our lives? […]
Chemistry in Our Environment, Being a Chemist is Good – Spectacular Chemical Experiments (Nagykanizsa)
To promote chemistry and related fields, spectacular experiments will be demonstrated, such as fire tornadoes, fire extinguishing, production of intangible gases, fireproof handkerchiefs, etc. Within the framework of the presentation, attention-grabbing experiments will be shown that are suitable for sparking interest in science. The presentation is recommended for both primary and secondary school students.
Hydrochemical experiments (Nagykanizsa)
Within the scope of the presentation, we will demonstrate attention-grabbing experiments suitable for sparking interest in science. For water analysis, certain water chemistry parameters can be determined during the experiments, or the appearance of pollutants can be simulated. We recommend the presentation for both primary and secondary school students.
What methods can be used to estimate the ecological risk of pharmaceutical residues found in the environment? (Nagykanizsa)
The presentation is divided into three clearly distinguishable parts. Firstly, we discuss current research on pharmaceutical residues found in surface waters, the entry pathways and potential fate of these new types of pollutants, as well as detection possibilities, analytical difficulties, and the current state of science. All of this is concluded by a third part, which places the topic within the current European Union regulatory framework, […]
The Journey of Pharmaceutical Residues in Nature: Our Surface Waters with an Analytical Eye (Nagykanizsa)
Thanks to continuously developing analytical techniques, we are increasingly able to detect a wide range of active substances in ever smaller quantities. Furthermore, through ecotoxicological tests and environmental risk assessment methods, we can determine the impact that individual micropollutants have on the wildlife of surface waters. All of this data serves as information, firstly for lawmakers, thereby making priority pollutants appear in the European [...]
Adventures of Bohemian writers at the turn of the century (in Veszprém and Budapest)
The early 20th century was dominated by café culture. Even the most important authors of the Nyugat magazine, including Ady, Csáth, Karinthy, Kosztolányi, Krúdy, spent their nights in cafés... Not only have numerous anecdotes of their adventures survived, but their works also contain „imprints” of these legendary years. The lecture is intended to tell about modern Hungarian literature, spiced up with biographical stories. The [...]
Do you care about your surroundings?
Join us for an interactive presentation where we'll explore what countries and individuals can do for climate and environmental protection. Are there already established best practices? Or is humanity still procrastinating? We recommend the presentation for secondary school students.
Do you believe me or your eyes? – Science communication for more than just scientists
Nowadays, we are bombarded with a vast amount of information every day. But how do we evaluate it all? Through which communication channels can we learn about the latest scientific research findings? During the lecture, we will gain insight into the theory and practice of science communication, hopefully contributing to a more conscious appreciation of the world around us. The lecture is recommended for secondary school students.
Energy and civilisation – infinite energy in a finite world?
The presentation briefly outlines the correlation between the development of our civilisation, energy consumption, and its impact on our planet. During the presentation, the potential of renewable energy sources and various smart technologies will be showcased. The presentation is recommended for secondary school students.
